Xigo Expands International Reach of Its Full-Service Telecom Expense Management Solution, Xigo Enterprise

More Than 200 International Telecommunication Providers and 170 Currencies Now Supported by Xigo, Helping Global Businesses Take Full Advantage of TEM to Reduce Expenses

MANASSAS, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Xigo, the cloud-based solution that simplifies managing enterprise telecommunications costs, today announced that it has expanded the international reach of its full-service fixed and mobile Telecom Expense Management (TEM) solution, Xigo Enterprise. With more than 200 international providers and 170 currencies supported, Xigo Enterprise can capture all of an organization’s billing, inventory and usage data in a single cloud-based platform, providing a unified view of all voice, data and mobile expenses.

“We are investing deeply in Xigo Enterprise’s international support capabilities, giving our customers the ability to optimize spending no matter how many new regions their businesses expand into”

The most recent international carriers added to Xigo Enterprise are Claro Brazil and Nextel Telecomunicações Ltda, both located in Brazil. These new carriers join other notable international carriers such as Singapore’s SingTel, Mexico’s Alestra, India’s Tata Teleservices Ltd and Australia’s Telstra. Conducting separate expense analyses for each geographic region is not only inefficient, but it also prevents companies from seeing a holistic view of their fixed and mobile expenses—hindering their ability to see problems and make corrections that improve operations and the bottom line. With Xigo’s cloud-based single platform approach, this is no longer a concern.

“We are investing deeply in Xigo Enterprise’s international support capabilities, giving our customers the ability to optimize spending no matter how many new regions their businesses expand into,” said David Spofford, CEO at Xigo. “Physical location should not have to be a variable when it comes to lowering costs and creating a leaner, more efficient organization.”

Using Xigo Enterprise, customers can view all of their global expenses normalized to the desired country or currency. For example, a company or business unit headquartered in Europe may wish to analyze its global expenses in its native currency—euros, while a Japan-based company may want to run international reports with all global currencies converted to yen for ease of analysis and reporting. Global exchange rates for more than 170 currencies are updated in Xigo Enterprise on a daily basis, increasing the accuracy of the analysis while reducing the time and effort required.

Xigo Enterprise saves businesses time, improves efficiency and optimizes communications spending by giving them insight into how staff are using their fixed and mobile resources. By quickly analyzing the data and returning recommendations, companies can improve their telecom situations in real-time. The solution enables organizations to easily set different mobility policies for different user bases within the same company—allowing executives to use more data than junior staff, for example. Xigo’s unified platform can also accommodate any increase (or decrease) in your telecommunications needs, without re-training or data loss.

In addition to the recent enhancements in international optimization, additional new features have been added to Xigo Enterprise. These include:

• Authority Delegation: The ability to delegate authority to another team member has been added to the software’s functionality, enabling managers to designate another employee to submit or approve orders, or run reports of mobile and fixed spending so adjustments can be made while the manager is on vacation, for example.
• Dynamic Allocation: Dynamic allocation is the ability to derive in real-time one or more segments of a ledger string from data stored elsewhere in the Xigo Enterprise SaaS framework. For example, a line can be assigned to an employee and when an invoice is received, that line will be allocated to the employee’s current cost center as specified in the most recent HRIS feed.
• Network Mapping: Real-time network mapping enables a geographic drill-down from a world or country view down to individual lines and circuits with current usage and cost detail.
